It may be that we are better followers of Confucius than at first 
glance might appear, for if we do not worship our ancestors we at least 
are interested in them. At any rate, it is so harmless a fad that it needs 
in pursuing no excuse. 

A genealogy of the Waternum family is not presented because it is 
an extraordinary one, for I find no member greatly elevated above his fellows 
and none greatly depressed below the level of ordinary citizenship ; but 
the history is that of thousands of other families — the history of the com- 
mon people — the every day history of the component parts of a great na- 
tion from the beginning to the present time. This family has borne its 
part, along with other families, to make up a great commonwealth. They 
have been farmers mechanics, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, teachers, jour- 
nalists, artists and musicians, attaining in some cases rank and eminence, 
and in this volume tlic writer will try to tell the story of those who came 
within the circle of his knowledge through the study of records and cor- 
respondence with those living at the present time. 

'i'he Watenmuis have ever been pioneers — pioneers in thought and 
deed. That they were Puritans in the early days of the family on this 
side of the Atlantic goes without saying from the date of their arrival and 
the company tliey \\ ere in. They have always kept up the character of 
pioneers. The w liter has found them in most of the states of the Union 
and their mark has been left where the famil) itself has dibitppeared. 
There are, at k'ast, two villages named for members of the family — one in 
Illinois and one in California, and there is a Waterman Avenue in the 
city of St. Louis.

During the eighteenth century several members of the familiy found 
their way to what is now the state of Maine, then a district of Massachu- 
setts, and it is to tell the story of these Maine families that this book has 
been written. It has been thought necessary to prefix an account of the 
family in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut before coming to 
Maine. The book could have been made much larger by including 
branches of the family in other states ; but the w^'iter has thought best to 
confine himself to Maine. A catalogue of names, such as a genealogy 
must be, is many times dry reading, and this book may be considered 
long enough by the reader ; and to use the words of the member of the 
family who wears the cap and bells, Nixon Waterman, and used as a fore- 
ward to his little volume of verse entittled "In Merry Mood :" 

This little book is not so bad, 

Or so it seems to me, 
As what you might have thought it had 

I made it thicker, See? 

Of course it is impossible to trace the lives of all the members of the 
family. There are some who are only names, whose life stories are un- 
told and whose resting places are unknown. They are the unknown 
dead of the family for which we drop a tear. There are also, doubtless, 
mistakes which have crept into this volume, and for them forgive — they 
were unintentional — for no man would knowingly wrong his family.

The Waterman family appears to be an ancient one. The word 
Waterman is not only good English, but good Angle-Saxon (Wieterman, 
or Wa^termann, Wietermon or Wa^termonn), good Old Saxon (Water- 
man or Watermann), and good Old Friesic (Wetirman or Weterman), 
wherebv it appears tliat the patronymic of the family may have been first 
applied to some hardy boatman on the Elbe, the Weser, or their tributaries, 
at that far off time when a man received his name from his calling. 
Some of these hardy Saxons by the name must have followed in the wake 
of Hengist and Horsa in that great migration to England sometime be- 
tween the years 500 and 900 A. D. The earliest accounts of the family 
in England are in County Kent, founded by those ancient leaders. 
Arthur says the name was common in that county in the sixteenth cen- 
tury. I have further reasons for believing in the Teutonic origin of the 
family. Within the last 50 years, at least four families by the name of 
Waterman have arrived in America from the German province of Han- 
over, the very heart of this old Saxon emigration, and they have informed 
me, that their ancestors had lived there for many generations. 

That the family was of some importance in England is evidenced by 
the fact that coats of arms were conferred upon two branc hes of it ; also 
upon the Waterman Company of London. 

The first member of the family to settle in America was Kichard 
Waterman. It is not known when he arrived upon the shores of Massa- 
chusetts Bay, but he seems to have been living in Boston in 1629. In 
that year he was sent to the vicinity of Salem to secure venison for the 
colony. He became a follower of Anne Hutchinson and was forced to 
leave the colony on that account in lGo8 and fice to lihode Island, where 
he reared a family and where sonic of his dcsccudents live to this day. 
He was brought back to Boston in 1G43 and tried for hcic-sv. lint ac- 
quited.

In l(Jo4, Thomas Waterman landed on this continent and settled in 
what is now Roxbury, Massachusetts. He has descendents living at the 
present time. 

There is also a record of the arrival on the ship Jonathan in 1639 
ot" .lolm ^^ aterman, a boy, and that he went to live in Sudbury; but 
there the record ends. What became of him is unknown. 

In KioH, came Robert Waterman to Plymouth, the home of the Pil- 
grims. This man is the founder of that line of the family which after- 
ward settled in what is now the state of Maine. Tradition has it that the 
four men already mentioned were brothers ; but I have found no record 
of it. 

About the same date of the arrival of Robert, there are ship records 
of tlie sailings of Lieutenant Humphi'ey Waterman and Thomas Water- 
man for the Barbados Islands (the former owned a plantation there of 
18H acres and had 92 slaves); also of the sailings of Katherine and Ann 
U'atcniiaii for \ irginia. 

A Rev. Thomas Waterman, who was born in London, came to 
CharlestowM, Massachusetts, just before the breaking out of the Revolu- 
tion ;iry War ; but he left no descendents of the name. 

There were, as least, two officers of the family on the British side in 
the Revolutionary War : First Lieutenant Elisha Waterman of the 
Rangers, and Ensiy^n Thomas Waterman of the First Retjiment. 

Ihis narrative is an account of Robert Waterman and his descend- 
ants, and more esjjecially those who settled in tlie state of Maine.

1 llobcrt Waterman caiiR' to Plymouth from Nor\\i(h, England, in 
KioH. At this time the settlers in the immediate vicinity of Plymouth 
liad taken up most of the available land, so that these late comers had to 
push out in boats along the shores of Massachusetts Bay to Hiid suitable 
settling ])laces. Although a living (ould bi- obtained by hunting and fish- 
ing, land was the gieat dcsiic of the ( olonists, jjartU because it was the 
natural wav of obtaining- a liviii«> in those i)iiiiiiti\ c days in anv country 
and partly because the ownei' of real estate was held in such high regard 
ill the mothc'" country. Robert \A"ateinian found a suitable place of set- 
tlement near Greens Harboi in what is now the town ol Marshfield, 
Massachusetts, and near what is now known as the Daniel Webster place,

family, it is found that the first two generations settled on the sea coast, 
because there were no roads in the interior ; but in time the immediate 
coast that was accessible by water became settled and the third genera- 
tion is found pushing into the interior. I'he American settlements, ex- 
cept where navigable rivers interfered with the natural method, gre^v 



like a tree, with an a(lclitii)ual riiitj ot settlements extending into the in- 
terior each year. Deacon Rohert pushed out from Marshfield into the

Freeman (183), was born to them, who married Joanna Thompson, Dec. 
IS, 177(), settled in his native town and died April 5, 1830. Thomas 
appears to have bought land in Scarboro, Maine, for he disposed of a 
piece in that place May 2-1, 1729, as per record among the York County 
deeds, and probably lived there, being the Hist of several VV'atermans from 
the vicinity of Halifax to settle in Maine. It appears that he had three 
wives, marrying for the second time Lydia Faunce, daughter of John 
Faunce, of Kingston, Mass., and widow of Ebenezar Washburn, and for 
the third time, June 5, 17H3, the widow Joanna Harlow. Tradition savs

was postmaster at Millbuiy, Mass.. in 1839. .\t that time, postmasters 
cancelled letters by writing their names across the en\tlope, with the 
amount of postage due. He conceived the idea of having stamji^ niiidi 
for this purj)ose, so lie drew the design and had them printed to attach to 
letters. His example was followed by other postmasters. A Millburv 
stamp to-day is worth from :^80() to $1200. He died at Woonsocket.

Watermans of Maine. 



— 4o- 



This narrative is more especially a rci ord of the Maine Waternians, 
and the first four generations of the fanjil\ , who resided in Massachusetts, 
Rhode Island and Connecticut, have been introduced to shoM' their origen. 
Some members of the family who settled in New Hampshire and ^ er- 
mont have been considered here because sonic of their descendants now 
live in the state of Maine. 

Althoutijh the first settlements of New Kngland were made bv emi- 
grants from England, a large portion of" the tinal settlement of the coun- 
try was made by the descendants of these early settlers. It has been 
seen how these descendants spread along the coasts of Massachusetts, 
Rhode Island and Connecticut, then slowly to the interior of these colonies, 
so it was only a question of time when they would reach the coast of 
Maine, first an independent colony and afterward a district of Mass- 
achusetts ; and, after the formation of the liiited States, it became a state 
in 1820. J'he first person by the name of Waterman, so far as I havr 
been al)le to ascertain, to live in Maine, was 'ihomas (43), already men- 
tioned, who appears to have lived in Scarboro as eajlv as 1729, and to 
have reared a familv there, although the rec ords of this ianiily are scanty. 
So far as 1 know, no other member of the family arrived within the bor- 
(lors of the district for fhiit_\ -nine years. 

So far as I am able to ascertain, all of the ^^'atermans in Maine, 
with three exceptions, are decendants of Robert \\ateiman. In con- 
ductins< mv investigations, Ileajnedthat tlure aie noA\ }isiding in the state 
of Milne three families bearing the uamivof Waterman, who are of Gernum 
descent, the hea(is of the famlics having been boin in the Province of 
Hanover. Tliev are the families of .Tulins \A^ife)man of Bangor. Mojiis

114 Joseph VVateinian, son of Joseph (51), was born in HaHfitx, 
Nov. 12, 1750, and was married to Lucy Joslinj^ Monroe, of Hanov«'r, 
Mass., Nov. 4, 17T(). He served in the Revohitionary War. In \1X2, 
he, in connection with his brothers, Noah. John, Robert and Daniel, eni- 
isrrated to Bakerstown in the District of Maine. At that time Bakers- 
town was on the frontier, but rapidly being settled. This plantation had 
been granted bv Massachusetts to the survivors of the companies of Capt. 
John March, Capt. Stephen (jreenleaf and Capt. Phihp Nelson in the ex- 
pedition to Canada in 1H9(), in the year 173fi, and laid out in what 
proved to be the C'olony of New Hampshire and therefore outside the ju- 
risdiction of Massachusetts. To make up for the loss of this land a new 
grant was made in Maine in 17(:)5. It was named for Capt. Thomas 
Baker, who was killed in an Indian battle in 1720, and to this Bakers- 
town .loseph Waterman came. He settled on an eminence afterwards 
known as Pottle Hill. In 1795, the Plantation of Bakerstown was in- 
cor])orated as the ninety fifth town and named Poland. It was a very 
large and unwieldv town and seven years later it was divided, that part 
Iving on the western side of the Little Androscoggin River retaining the 
name of Poland and that on the eastern side being named Minot. Pottle 
Hill was in Minot. In 1791, the first church (Congregational) was or- 
ganized in Bakerstown, and Joseph Waterman's name headed the list of 
members. He lived for quite a number of years in Minot and then 
moved to the town of Knox, where he died. His children were — 

219 Henry J. 

220 Jonah. 

221 Joseph. 

222 Lucy, married Kendall of Waldo. 

223 Nabby, married Packard of Camden. 

224 Ruth, married Bartlett of Searsmont.

226 Rebecca, married Flmer of Appleton.

116 Noah Waterman, son of Joseph (51). was born in 1754 and 
married Esther Ellis. He was a Revolutionary soldier. He settled near 
his brother, Joseph, on Pottle Hill, but afterwards moved to the southern 
part of the town of Minot. The town of Minot, like the town of Poland, 
was doomed to be divided, and that part on which Noah finally settled 
was set off in 1842 to form the town (now the city) of Auburn, and heie 
the descendants of Noah Waterman live. His children were — 

227 Jonah, born June H, 17'Sl, married Pamalla Record.

236 Otis C, born July 19, 1797. 
There nuiy have been other children. 

120 l)ani(l Waterman, son of Joseph (51), was born in 1768. He 
also settled on Pottle Hill, but seems to have i^one to New Gloucester 
(just south of Bakerstown) and gained a residence there. New Glouces- 
ter at this time was a frontier station where persons looking for land far- 
ther north made headquarters until a suitable selection could be made. 
Thus intending settlers or their families often lived in New Gloucester for 
a year or two while preparing a home in the plantations farther north. 
Daniel Waterman married a wife here Nov. 7, 1793 — Abigail True, 
daughter of Jabez True. His final settlement was in Poland. Children :

121 Robert \\'aterman, son of Joseph (51), was born in 1764 and 
came to Bakerstown with his brothers, living first on Pottle Hill, then at 
Poland C'orner. He was the owner of a mill at this place. He was 
quite a prominent man in Poland, holding several town offices. He was 
postmaster at Poland. Later in life he moved to Warren, Maine. His 
wife was Priscilla Haskell and they had five children, the first two born 
in Bakerstown and the last three after that plantation was incorporated 
as Poland : 

249 Robert, born Feb. 3, 1788. 

250 Thomas, born April 10, 1790.

Robert and Thomas settled in Belfast, Maine, where their descend- 
ants now live. 






144 Gen. William Waterman, was a son of Lieut. John (54). He 
was born in Harfax, Mass., in 1750 and married Betsey Watts. He 
settled in Buxton, Maine, where he was quite a prominent man. He 
seems to have won his title in the state militia. The Buxton and Hollis 
Light Infantry was organized, according to the Buxton Centennial His- 
tory, published in 1874, sometime between 1806 and 1811. In the lat- 
ter year the ladies of Buxton gave the company a stand of colors, and at 
that time William Waterman was the lieutenant. He was afterwards 
captain of the company. During the War of 1812, this company was 
called into service and served thirty days at Biddeford Pool, Children :

jamin and Phoebe (Harndonj Rogers. They settled first in Kingston, 
Mass., where their children were born, and then became some of the first 
settlers of the town of Buckfield, (then called Bucktown) Maine. After 
living there a few years, fear of the Indians drove them back to Kingston.

and died at Sangerville, Maine in 1862. 

Thomas Rogers Waterman settled first in Buckfield and afterwards 
moved to Sangerville. 

174 Malachi Waterman was brobably the son of Thomas (43). I 
have no record of his marriage but he was published in Gorham, Maine, 
'Dec. 21, 1776, to Mary Darker. He served two enlistments in the Rev- 
olutionary army, one in Capt. Samuel Whitmore's company of Flagg's 
Regiment, enlisting from Gorham, and one in Capt. Adam Martin's com- 
pany, Tyler's Regiment, enlisting from Scarboro, Maine. At the close of 
the Revolution, he settled in Turner, Maine, then known as Sylvester 
Canada, but after living there a few years returned to Gorham. He died 
in Baldwin, Maine. Feb. 12, 1824. Five children were born to this 
couple in Gorham : 

273 Sarah, born July 22, 1785. 

274 Mary, born Nov. 13, 1787. 

275 Statira, born Sept 25, 1791. 

276 Ebenezar, born Sept. 15, 1795. 

277 John, born June 19, 1797. 
There may have been other children. 

187 Prince Waterman was also a probable son of Thomas (43). 
He was an early settler of the to^vn of Turner, coming to Keen's Mills

coast of Maine, and, among other places, visited the Fox Islands. He 
made a temporary settlement at what is now Vinalhaven as early as 1760, 
and was thus the second man by the name of Waterman to settle in 
Maine ; but the Revolutionary War coming on and the British being 
predominant in that section, the settlement was given up. He came 
back for good at the close of that struggle and was one of the petitioners 
for the incorporation of Vinalhaven in 1785. He was the first selectman 
of the plantation, and was the fii'st treasurer of the town after incorpora-

308 Bannister Waterman, parentage unknown, was a soldier in 
Capt. Simeon Thayer's company in the Arnold Expedition of the Revo- 
lution up the Kennebec, Dead and Chaudiere rivers to Quebec, and be- 
cause of that may have been as interesting a member of the family as ever 
came to Maine. This company was raised in the vicinity of Newburv- 
port, Mass., and quite likely he was a native some of the towns near by. 
The sufferings of the expedition from' exposure and hunger are well 
known and it is a wonder that any member reached the St. Lawrence 
alive. It is needless to remind the reader that the assault on Quebec, for 
which they had marched these several hundred miles and braved all these 
hardships was disastrous. Bannister Waterman was among those who 
were taken prisoners on the assault of the city, Dec. 31, 1775.

wilderness with horses. He had many narrow escapes from disaster, 
once having to carry 600 kegs of this explosive material through a burn-
